The Earl-of HA.DDINGTON suggested to the Nob:e Duke to post. peme the clause. The Duke of WELLINGTON had no objection to a short post ponement. 'I he Marquis of CLANRICARDE objected to the postponement of the clause. The clause was then rejected without a division, Clauses down to 112. inclusive,W ere then agreed to. On clause 113 being put to the Committee, Lord FITZGERALD brought forward the amendment of which he hail given notice last night, making the residence of a Commissioner in Dot lid discretionary, instead of compulsive. Viscount MELBOURNE objected to it. After a few words from Lord Fitzgerald in reply, from the Earl of Wicklow, from the Duke of Wellington, and from Lord Elleuborough, the amendment was agreed to. The clause, as amended, was then ordered to stand part of the Bill. Clause 111 was agreed to with a verbal amendment ; as were also clauses 115 (the interpretation clan s:.•) and 116. Ti:eir Lordships then proceeded with the earlier clauses of the Bill, wh chwwe postponed when the Bill first went into Committee. Clauses 1 to 17 inclusive were agreed to. On clause 18 being put, The Duke of WELLINGTON moved the addition of words, pro viJins " that in making or altering electoral districts no town lands should be divided." The datum thus amended was then agreed to. Clauses 19 to 38 were agreed to, On clause 39, authorising to use barracks as work- houses. The Earl of GLENGALL wished to say a few words on this clause. The and on which the barracks were built had in most cases been given at merely nominal rents, on the principle that the presence of a bar rack must prove advantageous. That inducement would not apply to the workhouses, as very few would covet their neighbourhood. A neigh bour of his in Tipperary, Sir John Carden, was very uneasy on the sub. feet, the snore especially as it was generally believed that in case of the workhouse proving too small sheds were to be erected round it. This would very soon make all the gentlemen of the country absentees. The Duke of WELLINGTON did not think it honourable conduct in Government to make use of these buildings as workhouses. Viscount MELBOURNE observed that great attention was due to the observation of the Noble Duke. The Noble Viscount then (as we understood him) intimated an intention of making some alteration on the bringing up of the report. The clause was then agreed to. The remaining clause (40) was then agreed to, and Tuesday fixed for receiving the report. The House adjourned at a Quarter to Twelve o'Clock. 110 USE OF COIII3IONS, JUNE 8. The Speascza took the Chair at the usual hour. GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY BILL. On the motion of Lord F. EGERTON this Bill was read a third time and passed. NATIONAL LOAN FUND ASSURANCE COMPANY. Mr. HALL brought up a Report from the Committee on the National Loan Fund Assurance Company's Bill, requesting that the time for rr s%ing thclr Report might be extended to the :oth of June; and they did so in consequence of the understanding come to the other night, that the second reading should then take place, but that the Committee should not proceed until the President of the Board of Trade had introduced his Bill. The extension of time was granted. MIDDLESEX COUNTY COURTS BILL. Mr. CR A WFORD brought up a report from this Committee, request ing an extension of time. Captain WOOD thought the Bill ought not to be proceeded_with. The Bill had been brought in a late period of the Session, and had not received the consideration it required. No ground had been stated for asking the present extension of time, and he (Captain Wood) having cpposed the application in Committee, would certainly now resist the motion. Mr. HALL supported the motion. Mr. CRAWFORD had obtained the sanction of a Committee for making the application. The Hon. Member for Middlesex had most certainly been a party to it, although he had subsequently said he had a great mind to oppose it. Mr. AGLIONBY never knew an instance of any opposition being given to an application of this kind, after it had been placed in the hands of the Chairman. The Bill was one more of a public than of a private nature, and lie was surprized at the oppo. sition now brought forward. He trusted that, as this was a mere matter of form, the House would accede to the motion. Lord G. SOMERSET objected to the House granting an extension of the time. Lord DUNGA NNON Opposed the extension of the time. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided. For the Motion 39 For the Amendment Majority —2o Mr. CHALMERS brought up the report of the Committee on the Newtyle and Cupar.Angus Railway Bill. Lord DUNGANNON presented a petition from the Corporation of Durhane, and from a parish in the same county, praying for the abo lition of my° apprenticeship. OXFORD AND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. On the motion that this Bill be read a third time, Mr. MACLEAN said that though the House had divided upon the Bill, on the bringing up of the Report, he still felt it his duty to oppose its passing, as his constituents were deeidedly opposed to it as well as nearly all the authorities of the University. They had no other means whatever of meeting the demand, which, in point of honour, as well as in point of law, the town of Oxford were bound to discharge, except through the medium of these tolls.— (Hear, hear.) It was quite fair to state, and he stated it for consideration of her Majesty's Government, that he believed, on other estates in the city of Oxford, the charitable money was secured ; but there was no security whatever for the money borrowed from the Exchequer, as he understood, except that rate, which in the petition from the city of Oxford it was stated the railroad would in all probability totally annihilate. That was not the only objection the city of Oxford had to this railroad. They stated the T9ad itself was not required either by the state of the traffic, or the difficulty of the access to the Western road, for there was an exceedingly good road, which would bring every body anxious to go by the Wes ern Railway, to the spot, in about half an hour's more time ' than would be occupied if this railroad were carried into effect. So that the gain would be only one single half hour, while the expense of making the railroad must be enormous. Indeed it was doubtful whether it would even pay the projectors, but that was their lookout and not his constituents. It might be said why was not the Bill opposed in Committee. Last year the Bill was opposed in Committee by the city of Oxford at great cx. pence; and there was a very strong feeling both in the town and the University against this Bill, upon grounds which had never been refuted. The city of Oxford had erected for the benefit of the inhabitants, at a very considerable expence, waterworks to supply them with cheap and pure water. If this Bill passed, the object of that work wotjd be defeated. Just to saves B an hour in time, this Bill was to i e passed, empowering the Company to take an acre of ground for their warehouses, &c., and in a manner which might greatly inconvenience the University ; for there was no provision what. ever in the Bill to provide compensation.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") The result of the railway would be to tend to the ill-health of the lower part of the town. He (Mr. M'Lean) therefore moved that the Bill be read a third time this day siX months. Mr. CRIPPS said he could not understand how this Bill should be opposed.—(Hear.) There was not a reason which the Hon. Gentleman had assigned that ought not to hare been disposed of in Committee. Sir R. INGLIS said this was the work of certain speculators, and quite unsupported by any individual either connected with Oxford or its vieinity.—(Hear.) On that ground he should oppose this or any other Bill .in similar circumstances. ylr M. PHILLIPS said it appeared to him rather extraordinary that a Bill 0 ) : this nature should have been opposed in its present stage, more especially after the division which took place last night, which ought to h av e been decisive. From the connexion which he had had with different populous places, this was the first time he had ever heard of a large community like Oxford wishing to repudiate the advantages confered on it without any taxation being imposed on them, and that other parties had come forward to confer a blessing on them without asking then' to find the money. He thought they were about to have a great benefit conferred on them, and he did not think it right for this House to stand between them and the consummation of this Bill. Mr. ESTCGURT .said, with regard to the assertion made, that the objection had not been taken before the Committee, he would state that they were made, although the Committee did not appear to be suffi_ eiectly impressed with their importance.—(Hear, hear.) The. ob jections had been urged by his Hon. Friend near hilts and himself in the strDngest manner. It was said that the press‘at was the first instance ot a Railway Bill being impeded in its progress through the House, when that Bill was to confer a great benefit. Why, that was the very question before the House.--(Hear, hear.) He (Mr, Fateourt) denied that it would confer any benefit. The University of Oxford was opposed to the coestruction of the railway, on the ground that it would occasion much greater inconvenience than it would confer advantage—the Citizens of Oxford were also opposed to it, and he would, therefore, say that it was not for the benefit of the city of Ox ford, but a job set on foot by a party of speculators and contractors, .against the feelings and wishes of those most interested in the mat ter.— Cries of " Question.") Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided. whet. the numbers were— -79 For the third reading Against it 26 Majority for the third reading & e l OWEN presented a petition from a number of the watermen and lighten.ien of the Thames against the Steam.boat Navagation Bill. Mr. CLAY" }resented a petition from certain watermen and lighter men against the Thames Steam-navigation Bill. Sir G. CLERK presented a petition from Glasgow against the Scotch Burgh Bill. Lord ASHLEY moved that a message be sent to the Lords for a copy of the minutes of evidence taken before the New Zealand Committee. Mr. GRANBY presented a petition from several clergymen in Lei. cester, in favour of the abolition of Pluralities. Lard DUNGANNON gave notice that he should, on Tuesday next, present a petition from Stockton-on-Tees, praying that ample endowment might be gives to the University of Durham. IRELAND—ATTACK UPON THE MILITARY. In answer to Mr. Serjeant JACKSON, Lord MORPETH said he believed the accounts in the papers, of a riot, and an attack upon the military and police, were substantially correct. Mr. Serjeant JACKSON enquired if on that occasion the military and police had been restrained from using their weapons to self-defence ? Lord MORPETH replied that he had received no information upon that point. COUNTY COURTS' BILL. Sir E. KNATCHBULL asked if the Nob:e Lord (Lord J. Russell), intended in the course of the present session to proceed with this Bill. Lord J. RUSSELL said he was afraid he should not be able to do so. But he would be enabled to give the Hon. Gentleman a more specific intimation in the course of the next week. LOWER CANADA. Mr. LEADER said, Lord Gosford had declared martial.law in Lower Canada without any authority from the Imperial Parliament. The law and constitution of Lower Canada gave the Governor no power whatever to declare martial law without the Consent of the provincial Legislature. He wished to ask the law officer of the Crown if such a measure was constitutional ? Lord J. RUSSELL said there could be no doubt that when civil war or rebellion took place, martial law against all persons with arms in their hands, and in defiance of the Queen's authority, was justifiable. And the declaration of martial law was but notice to the inhabitants. Mr. LEADER said he did not dispute whether Lord Gosford's con duct, under the circUMstance, was justifiable, but whether it could ha maintained in a court of law. Because, if a Governor took upon himself the responsibility of a step, which was clearly against the law and constitution, he must apply to Parliament for a Bill of Indemnity. Now, as Lord Gosford had no legal authority to establish martial law, it was absolutely necessary, in order to justify Lord Gosford, that there Should be a bill of indemnity ; and be wished to ascertain whether the Noble Lord me an t to ask for a bill of Indemnity ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL did not see any neeessity at present for a Bill of Indemnity, but if it was requisite, Government would ask for one. As to whether the proclamation of Lord Gosford could be sustained in a court of law, he trusted the Hon. Genttentad Would not think it a proper question to put to him. Mr. LEADER was promised that the Attorney-General should be is his place to answer it ; but it appeared that he was not. If there should be no Bill of Indemnity, our boasted defence of tit* Hobo; Carpet was of no use whatever. FACTORY BILL. Lord ASHLEY said the Bill for the regulation of factories had been A long time before the House, and he now found it postponed to the tail inst. He thought it now almost impossible that it- could be canted through the House during the present Session, and he wished to know the intentions of Government on the subject. Lord J RUSSELL said the Bill had been delayed by the indisposition of the Under-Secretary of State. Since the BR had been introduced there were various parties pressing for alterations and changes in it, and if it came on, a considerable time must be devoted to its discussion. The course he meant to pursue was not to press the farther consideration of the Bill during the present session. BENEFICES PLURALITIES BILL. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then moved the Order of the Day for the further consideration of the Report on the Benefices Pluralities Bill. Mr. HAWES moved as an amendment that the Bill should be recemmittcd, for the purpose of striking out all those clauses that were objectionable. Since the question had been before the House a most important petition hall been presented, which he considered justified the course he was now adopting. The memorialists were of opinion that pluralities could be abolished with great benefit to the Church, and they farther stated that they con sidered that the principle was against the true interests of the Church. That memorial was signed by sixty-three clergymen, and they stated that they were against the Noble Lord's Bill, because there were no less than 3,000 livings within the limits prescribed by this Bill. It was a mistaken notion, also, that it was poor clergymen who enjoyed pluralities, because it was ascertained that of pluralists, for every one who had heings to the amount of 2001. there were six who enjoyed livings to the amount of 5001. At present every parish had a Curate performing all the ecclesiastical duties of the parish at a much smaller stipend than is enjoyed by those pluralists The probability was, that the pluralities would continue to be nearly as numerous hereafter as they were at the present moment. The point he wished to press more particularly on the Noble Lord, was the consi. deration of the arguments urged by the memorialists, who had addressed the Archbishop of Canterbury on this subject; and when he considered that the Bill of the Noble Lord would not put an end to pluralities, but rather tend to increase them, he did consider that a good ground for taking the course he had. Before he concluded he would venture to read to the House an extract of a letter he had received from a Clergy man, and he had received many, expressing the same strong opinion : He said the experience of twenty years convinced him that the amount of nonresidents in the Church, and the misapplication of its revenues, had greatly injured its usefulness. The number of benefices, without resident incumbents would be between 3,500 and 4000, unless public opinion prevented it, but how this was to act under the auspices of a Bill sanctioned by Government and the House he was at a loss to know. The division which he (Mr. Hawes) was about to take would show who were the true friends of the Church.—(Hear, from the Tories.) He repeated, this would be the fact. He had shown that in extremely poor dioceses persons were found who discharged all the duties which ought to be discharged—he had shown that clergyman had gone out of their way to address the Archbishop of Canterbury to abolish pluralities altogether, and therefore he was entitled to say that those who maintained pluralities had no right to consider themselves as the friend* of the Church. lie thought the policy of the Noble Lord with regard to the Church partook of the same character that marked his other measures. He seemed always afraid of doing either too much cm too Uttle. In t his case, with the Bishops, the Church, and the spirit of the times In his favour, he declined to effect one of the greatest reforms that could be effected in the Church. He regretted the course which the Noble Lord had taken on this occasion, and to take the sense of the House on the amendment which he had moved, that the Bill be re. committed. Mr. CLAY seconded the amendment. Lord JOHN RUSSELL understood ohe proposal of the lion. Member to be, that the Bill should be re-committed, with the view of abolishing pluralities altogether. This question had been discussed already, and more particularly by the Honourable Sletnber;,for Kilkenny, The Hon. Gentleman said, let there be no pluralities. Suppose a living of 301., or even 40/. a year, and nobody should be found to fill it, the necessary consequence would be, that it would be incumbent on the Bishop to ask some neighbouring clergyman to do the duty, who might have other duties to perform. However desirable it was to abolish plu ralities, unless the Hon. Member proposed such a modification of the Clergy's incomes as would enable every clergyman to live upon his in come, his amendment would hardly benefit the Church.—(Bear, hear.) Mr. HOPE said a few words which were nearly inaudible in the gallery. We understood him to recommend some amendment, the purport of which we could not catch. Mr. PRIME thought, that although he objected to pluralities gene. rally, th , re were cases in which they ought to be tolerated. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided— When there appeared for the motion 145 For the a,nendment 34 Majority —lll We understand that two Members found themselves amongst the party opposed to that with which they intended to divide, which caused a long discussion with closed doors. Eventually the two votes were disallowed. Mr. HUME objected to the course which was adopted. Several clauses had been added to the Bill, which there was no opportunity of discussing as fully as they could be discussed in Committee. By one of these clauses a pluralist holding three, four, or five benefices could still accept another. Lord J. RUSSELL said the course he intended to pursue was to go regularly through the Bill. He did this because the clauses ar.d amend ments were mixed up with each other. The first clause was then agreed to. On clause e being proposed, Sr H. VERNEY moved as an amendment that in line 2'2, after the word " diocese," the following words should be inserted :—" But such two benefices shall not involve the cure of souls." '1 he question being put the House divided, when there appeared — For the original clause O6 For the amendment 42 Majority The clause was then agreed to, as was also the third clause. On the fourth clause being proposed, Sir H. VERNEY moved as an amendment that the fourth and fifth clauses be omitted, and the following substituted :—" And be it enacted that no spiritual person holding any benefice involving the cure of souls, shall accept, or take, or hold therewith any other benefice involving the cure of souls, unless such benefices are situated contiguous to one ano ther, and the parish Churches are within three miles of each other, and the united population of such two benefices do not exceed 3,000 souls, and the united income of such two benefices amount to less than 1301. per annum... The object of his amendment was to restrict the holding' of two parishes to such a limit as would afford effectual spiritual super intendence. Ms. HUME seconded the amendment. In his opinion there should be no pluralities, and although he should vote for the amendment of his Hon. Friend as the lesser evil, yet the course best calculated to serve the cause of true religion, and consequently benefit the people, would be to abolish pluralities altogether. Mr. GOULBCIIN said that Hon. Members who were so anxious to lessen those revenues should recollect that it was necessary to afford Clergymen a sufficient inducement to perfect themselves not only in that education which would pass current amongst their flocks, but that ecclesiastical education which would tend to render them fitting, by' teaching and example, to improve the moral condition of their flocks. When Hon. Members objected to the Bill as not going far enough, they should remember that it not only limited the Clergy with respect to re sidence, but also to population and revenue. It had been said by an Hon. Member on the other side that Clergymen could be found to um. dertake Curacies for a very small remuneration. This was a most fat. lacious mode of reasoning ; for a young Clergyman, expecting future preferment, would gladly take a Living, if it were worth no more than five pounds, in order to place himself in the way of advancement. It was idle to speak of the readiness of young men to take small stipends In this respect the Church should be looked upon as no more than any other profession, where the junior branches would avail themselves of small remuneration, merely because the position which they attained placed them on the way to advancement. Mr. CHILDERS said they should endeavour to afford an induce ment to young gentlemen of talents and attainments to enter the Church as a profession. Now he found that the pluralities were all in the hands of persons possessing great influence—in fact, that those received the advantages of pluralities who least required any assistance of that that description. In one case there were five benefices held by an in dividual, and one of them was worth 1,0001. per annum. He objected to the limits proposed by the Noble Lord, for, instead of putting an end to pluralities, it went rathcr to sanction those existing at pres.ent within the limit of ten miles. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that the objection of Ilia Honourable Friend, with regard to the limits which lie proposed, was answered very easily, for the same objection would apply to any limitation, as well as that of ten miles and I,oooe The Honourable Member had instanced a case where five benefices were held by one individual, and yet when he (Lord John Russell) proposed to remedy that state of things his Honourable Friend objected to it. In truth none of those objections applied, for the only difference between his (Lord John Russell's) pro posal and that contained in the amendment was one of degree, and, feeling that his was best calculated to effect the purposes tor which the Bill was introduced, he should oppose the amendment. Mr. WYNN opposed the amendment. Sir R. INGLIS opposed the amendment. Mr. NICHOLL did not think the abuse originated with the Bishops, but at all events the Bill would remedy the evil. Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR expressed his intention to support the amendment. Mr. BAINES was unfavourable to pluralities; he should vote for fixing the amount at 7501. rather than 1,000/. Mr. PLUMI'TRE would not object to a clergyman holding two bene fices where the income did not exceed 1,0001., but he, at the same time, did not see how any clergyman could attend properly to two parishes, containing each a population of 3,000 souls. After some further conversation the House divided, and the numbers were : LAW INTELLIGENCE. For the amendment 53 Against it Majority for the clause — 4 Mr. HUME said that on the third reading he would move that no benefice should be held in plurality where there was a cure of souls ex. eeeding 3,000. The succeeding clauses, down to clause 11, were agreed to as amended. On clause 12, relating to the union and seporation of parishes, being put, Mr. GLADSTONE objected to the power which this clause gave to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and thought that such a power would be best exercised as the law stood by the Queen in Council. After a desultory conversation, in which several Hon. Gentlemen took part, the clause was agreed to. The clauses down to 21 were then agreed to, as amended. The other clauses to clause 3-1 inclusive were agreed to. On clause 35 being proposed, Mr. FRESHFIELD moved as an amendment, " That a license fur non-residence shall be granted in the case of any dangerous illness or in firmity of body of himself, his wife, or child, or any part of his family, or in the case of incapacity of mind of such spiritual person." Lord DUNGANNON opposed the amendment. Mr, LAW supported the amendment, because nearly the same words were to be found in clause 57. Colonel SIBIiiORP also supported the amendment. Lord J. RUSSELL had no doubt that the illness of soma members of the family of a clergyman had been made the ground for a license of non-residence even when two benefices were held by the same person, and he should therefore oppose the amendment. Sir E. SUGDEN would be sorry to be compelled to vote against the amendment upon principle, but he did not think his Hon. Friend ought to divide the House upon it. Mr. HUME opposed the amendment. Mr. FRESHFIELD again modified his amendment, and after a short conversation the House was cleared for a division, but on the suggestion of Mr. L3w the Hon. Gentleman withdrew his amendment, reserving to himself the power of d;viding the House on the point if his objection was not provided for on the third reading. Clauses up to 76 inclusive were then agreed to. On clause 77 being proposed, Lord J. RUSSELL said that at the suggestion of some Members of the Episcopal Bench he was induced to omit the clause. The clause was accordingly omitted. Clauses up to 84 were then disposed of, Mr. WYNN proposed a proviso upon the 85th clause, to the effect that in ease of any appointment in Wales of a spiritual person unable to instruct in toe Welch language there should be granted a power of ap. peal to the Archbishop ei C,;eterbury. 11(r, HUME said that she Rstaus,sherl Church did not deserve to exist so iciskily fit could not furnish Clergymea to mach in the Welsh language. %lamas r 44. it would be of no use to the majority ...: 7.1):.

Clauses to 110 were then disposed of. Upon the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, a clause was added, exempting the three late Chaplains from the operation of the Bill. Mr. NICHOLL moved a clause exempting from stamp duty all instru ments connected with the admission to benefices under the annual value of 0001. of spiritual parsons not holding any other benefice or cathedral preferment cf the annual value of 1501. Lord J. RUSSELL objected to the clause. The House divided-- For the motion Against it Majority —9 Col. SIBTIIORP then proposed a clause to the effect that the widow of ally spiritual person holding a benefice, and having a residence at tached to it, should be entitled to remain in such residence for a period of three months after his death. After a few words from the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, 'The clause was, by consent, left in his hands for further amendment. The Bill was then reported, and ordered to be read a third time oil Friday next. Lord J. RUSSELL then moved the adjournmi.nt of the House instil Monday, stating at the same time that it was his intention to move that the House should sit more than once on the Saturday in the time to come, to forward the Bills before it in their several stages. REGISTRATION OF ELECTORS. The Registration of Parliamentary Electors' Bill then went through Committee pro forma, some new clausqs were brought up, and the Bill was ordered to be printed. INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT. On the motion of Mr. P. THOMSON, the International Copyright Bill was committed pro forma. After a few words from Mr. Wdrhurton, Mr. P. Thomson, Mr. Darby, the Solicitor-General, and Sir R. Inglis, the Bill with the amendments was ordered to be reported to the House, and printed. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to One o'Clock. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS In the course of the conversation which took place on Thursday night in the House of Lords relative to the late fatal riot near Canterbury, Lord Brougham said that the be lief of the peasantry in the absurd and ridiculous stories of Courtenay was only to be accounted for by their gross igno rance ; and that he hoped, therefore, to have the support of Lord Melbourne on his motion on the subject of education. Is the noble and learned public instructor quite sure that he is not confounding superstition with ignorance? Is he quite sure that educated persons never believe absurd and ridiculous stories? If we are not very much mistaken. the believe:s in Irving's unknown tongues imposture had, and have still, many educated persons among their number : and if we are not greatly misinformed, many patrons of the Confusion of Use ful knowledge Society—colleagues of the Noble and Learned Lori—are actually attempting at this moment to humbug the public into a belief in the revolting absurdities of animal magnetism! Not many months ago the Pope him self was exhibiting to the populace of Rome certain holy relics, the sight of which was to cure the cholera ; and the most absurd and ridiculous stories of the Saints are still cre dited, by thousands of educated Members of the Church over which his Holiness presides. If the few deluded followers of the maniac Courtenay be 25 uneducated as Loid Brougham rqr - cents them to be, they have an excuse which cannot be put forward in favour of the other fanatics to whom we have alluded. It is said that the former believed that Courtenay brought down stars from heaven when he was merely practis ing a pyrotechnic trick : it is known that members of the So ciety fur the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge have perfect faith in the miracles which the animal magnetizers profess to work. It is clear, therefore, that what Lord Brougham prescribes is not a specific for the disease at which he, in common with most sane men, is so much shocked, and which all friends of their country and their kind must desire to sae eradicated. Times. We earnestly recommend to the notice and favour of the public a Bill laid on the table of the House of Lords by Lord W)nford, a copy of which appears in another part of our paper. It will be for the honour of Parliament and for the advantage of the community that this Bill, or the substance of it, should speedily become law. It is difficult to imagine, in deed, that any considerable number of Members in either House of Parliament will venture to oppose a measure so rea sonable and equitable as that which ordains that men who either cannot or will not pay their lawful debts shall no longer be deemed fit for the highest and most important of all public trusts. The boasting and hollow Reformers of our day may be estimated at their just value when it is seen that they leave to a Nobleman, s‘h ) cannot be accused of any alliance with them, this honourable effort to divest of the functions of a le gislator every man against whom it stands indelibly recorded in the rolls of our Cout is of practice that he is alieni appetens sui profusus. But it has been thus in all ages. Cataliae himself was a long-tongued Reformer.—Morning Post. PAYMENT OF DEBTS BY PEERS AND MEMBERS. On Thursday night the following Bill, presented by Lord Wynford, was laid on the table of the House of Lord , . It is entitled " A Bill to prevent the payment of just debts beini, defeated or delayed by the privilege of Parliament." The preamble sets forth, " Whereas it is derogatory to the honour and dignity of the Peerage and of Parliament that the privilege of freedom from imprisonment, which was given to Peers and Members of Parlian ent to protect them from being molested by their fellow-subjects, or oppressed by the Crown, by arresting and detaining them in custody upon claims for debts not due, should be used to prevent or delay the recovery of debts the justice of which has been established by the judgment or decr-e of one of the superior Courts of law or equity ; be it enacted,•• Scc.:— • 1.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, JUNE S• RAPHAEL V. GOODMAN. This was an ac' ion cn a bond given to the Sheriff. The defence was that the bond had been obtained by fraud. The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant, finding that the bond had been obtained from the defendant by the fraudulent re p resen t at i on o f th e Sh e riff's officer. A rule had since been obt a i ne d t o set as id e th a t ver di c t, on t he ground that the fraudulent conduct of the officer could not affect a security given by the Sheriff. Mr. TIIESIGER showed cause against the rule.—Ruts discharged. EXCHEQUER COURT, JUNE 8. IN TUE MATTER OF TUE ESTREAT OF MECOGNIZANCES ENTERED INTO BY EDWARD SCOTT AND OTHERS. The Courer gave judgment in this case, which was argued l a st term by Sir William Follett against the rule, and Mr. Maule in supp ort of upon an application made to take the recognizance , off the file, which had been certified into this Court by the Speaker of the Hou se of Co_rnmons, pursuant to 9 George IV., cap. 22, sec. 65. There being a peti tion against the return of Mr. Richards for the county of Merioneth, the usual recognizances had been entered into, but the petitioners having failed to appear before the House on the day appointed to try the merits of the petition, no Committee had been struck. The Speaker had caused the costs to be taxed, and the petitioner having refused, for the space of six months after the demand for the amount, to pay the same to the person petitioned against, the Speaker had certified the default and recognizances into this Court. The question was whether he had the power to do so, and whether the recognizances could be enforced ; and this would depend upon the construction of the 60th section of the Act. This Act had not been very carefully drawn, and, in order, to give effect to the construction contended for on the part of the Crown, the words of the 60th section must be taken to mean that the costs should be taxed within three mouths after the determinatilii of the merits of the petition; or, if no such determination took place, at any time. The Court was obliged either to qualify the language of the 60th section, or to strike out some part of it ; and of these two courses, the one doing least violence to the words of the Act seemed that of qualify ing them, by which the Court would give effect to every enactment of the statute, would make every part of the recognizances operative, and would enable the Speaker to direct the costs to be taxed in every case, which would be likely to prevent many vexatious petitions. Tht2argu. ment on the other side was that it was intended that the petitioner should have this locus petitentia, but this argument was answered by the cir cumstance that there would be the same locus pcenitentim if the sitting M e mber e!sould chose to give it. The view, therefore, which the Court took of the Act itself was, that the recognizances had in this case been forfeited and duly certified. It had been said that t h e examination o f f or mer Acts (28 Geo. 11 1., c. 32, and 53 Geo. 111., C. 7) ought to lead the Court to a different conclusion, but they had not found it to be so. The Court did not mean to say that there was n o d oubt upon the i r ' minds upon the subject , but they might suppose th a t t h e Legislature might have intended to g ive no remedy fur these costa by action, as it had done under the 5 3 d G eor g e 111., but that the re me d y upon the re . cognizances should still continue. The view of the C ourt was fortifie d by the case of Bruyers v. Halcombei in the Court o f Q ueen's Benc h , 3 Ad. and Ellis, 38. ARCHES' COURT, JuNE 8. MOORE v.

The insolvent came up zgain, but its production was waived. The insolvent, in answer to a question from the Court, said he went to prison on the 3d of October, and had been. within the walls the whole of the time. Mr, Commissioner HARRIS gave judgment. The judgment of the Court was, that the insolvent was entitled to the benefit of the Act, as to all his creditors except Mr. Else, at whose suit he should be discharged so soon as he had been in custody a period of six calendar mouths for fraudulently contracting a part of his debt. The Learned Commissioner added that the insolvent would, at the expiration of the adjudication, have been twelve months in prison. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A poor woman, named Bird, was charged with having been very trcu blesome and annoying to Mr. Green, a respectable solicitor. She had a child in her arms, and appeared to be in a very destitute condition. A gentleman who conducts the business of Mr. Green stated that the defendant and her two brothers would, upon the death of some old annuitants, come in for property to a considerable amount, and that Mr. Green was the solicitor employed for the recovery of the pro. perty, which was at present in Chancery, and had undertaken the case without having received any of the expenses attendant upon it ; that the defendant and her husband seemed to consider that Mr. Green was under obligations to support them up to the time at which the annuitants shou'd cease to exist, and that the insults and threats to which he had been subjected in consequence of his refusal to accede to so unreasonable a proposition had become of late intolera. ble ; that Mr. Green had very frequently supplied them with money to assist the defendant's husband in carrying on his trade, but that the public-house received the money so advanced, and of course it was of no use to the family. The Loan Mavoa . asked what might be the amount of the pro. perty to which the woman and her brothers would become entitled? The complainant replied that it might amount to perhaps 7,000/. or 8,000/., and that they had endeavoured to obtain advances of money upon the strength of their expectations. The defendant said that she and her husband and family were in the most deplorable condition, although they had such prospects. The husband was a carpenter, and had been obliged to pawn even his tools for bre td. The LORD MAYOR told the defendant that she was adopting the worst means of obtaining astistance. The defendant assured his Lordship that she would give no Inore trouble, and was discharged. THAMES-OFFICE. Yesterday Mr. Robert Smith, part owner of the ship Eliz.lbeth, ap_ peared before Mr. Greenwood to show cause why he refused to pay the sum of 13/. 155., the balance of wages due to William Wadly, a sea man, fir his services on board. The order for payment was male out • LAMBETH MURDER-INQUEST. ( From the Second Edition of last night.) On the inquiry being resume!, William Clements, a young lad, was examined. He stated that he is a tailor living in Granby..treet. He know: the old man Owen, who lives in the same street. On Monday evening last he saw a gentleman conversing with Owen. The gentleman put some silver in Owen's hand, and said, " keep it to yourself, and don't tell your neighbours about it." A young man in the same shop told the policeman of the occurrence, who brought the witness here. A crowd of people were following Owen. Witness did not know for what reason. Owen was recalled, and entered into a rambling statement as to the accuracy and inaccuracy of his memory. Tue CORONER—Did you receive any kindness from any body the day you were examined ? Witness (laughing) said, I don't think I have a right to answer that. CORONER—Yes; you must answer. Witness then told a rambling story about a gentleman having come to him in the York Hotel after he was examined, and spoke to him very kindly. The gentleman asked him to dri ik, which he refused. The gentleman followed him towards his home, and gave him a sixpence. It was painful to his feelings to be forced to speak of such thing. in a public room. He could not swear that the gentleman did not say "Do net say too much." The gentleman might have said so. It might have related to this case. The gentleman might have sa id " mind what you are about, and say what you have to say in a few words." The witness fenced very artfully, arid talkel a good deal about his belonging to a Temperance Society, and his knowing all the grocers, but wished " to see all the publicans far enough." The Coroner asked him who was the girl whom he represented to be his daughter? when, instead of answering, he broke into exclama. tions about God and his soul, ke &c. Being pressed, he admitted with great difficulty that she was not his slaughter, and that she slept in the same room with him. He had represented, in an application to a cha rity that he had three children in distress ; and it was drawn out of him at last that he had included in the number the girl alluded to, Ile would not answer the question whether she slept with him or not. He bore an excellent private character.—(Laughter.) [Duiing the examination of this man, strong leelings of disgust were expressed by the jury and the speAators.] Upon his oath the money which the gentleman gave him was no money to induce him to make any statement in this case. He could not recollect that he had said to any person, that he wondered if he could tba punished for swearing that he saw Hubbard at the door on the morning of the murder, arid that should turn out to be untrue. He would swear that he had not said so. William Blakeman, of Granby street, was confronted with Owen. Witness keeps a chandler's shop. Knows Owen. On Tuesday the lat ter told witness the same story which he had told the jury about seeing Hubbard at the door. He also said to witness, "Ifhe is nut the mur derer, and the murderer is found out, what can they do with me." Witness put down the words at the time on a hit of paper. Owen denied that he knew the witness. lie would not swear that he man he pointed out in this room on Monday was the man he saw in the hall ; but he would swear that the man whom he saw in the kitchen smoking a pipe was the man. There were about twenty persons in the kitchen when he identified the man. Inspector Field said there were not more than eight or nine persons in the kitchen. Owen had told witness before, that the man was fair haired with dark whiskers. The CortoNEtt--He has sworn that the man had dark hair and whiskers. Field added, that on going into the kitchen Owen took a glass of beer from Hubbard as his brother.—(A laugh.) Mrs. Edwin re-examined.—Had made a mistake on the former exa mination. Had said it was in the parlour she saw Hubbard—it was in the kitchen. But she really forgot when she was last examined. Never saw -Hubbard before. Before she gave her evidence she had not read any thing about the murder in the newspapers. (This witness, who is not more than 16 years of age, gave her evidence on this occasion with great readiness and apparent consistency.) ---- Hubbard, brother of the man so much mixed up in the matter, _ _ was examined, but there was nothing in his evidence of any importance. The CORONER then went through a careful and luminous review of the principal parts of the evidence. He particularly drew attention to the fact, that Hubbard's statement at first had been borne out by the other wit nesses living in the house, and that he had himselfnever varied from it; the only Circumstance that seemed suspicious as regarded him was the removal of the chamber utensil from the bed room of the deceased to the kitchin . That circumstance had had a great effect upon his (the Coroner's) mind. But all suspicion on that subject was removed by the statement of the police consta ble, that the chamber utensil was in the bed.room of the deceased when the alarm of the murder was given, and he was called in. So that its r emova l afterwards could have no connection whatever with the murder. The deceased having been found in her own room, which she used for such purposes ; and the fact that only hergown had been taken off, showed that the person who went home with her did not mean to stay long. Mr. Carriar then pointed out to the jury certain particulars which showed that the stranger was about to go away, and had not given her any money, and that she attempted to detain him by force; that there had been a struggle, in which the man struck the deceased on the neck a blow which rendered her insensible; where- upon (as it appeared to him) the monster cut her throat and inflicted the other wounds, determined to leave no life in her. Those wounds would be produced by such a weapon as the girl Edwin had described. The fact that there was no blood upon the door could be accounted for in three ways—first, that the monster wiped his hands in the cloth which was in the room—or, secondly, that he put on his gloves—or, thirdly, that he wrapped them in his cloak, which he was proved to have had with him. Having taken one of th.se precautions, it would appear that he let himself out, set. ting down the candle on the mat. He (Mr. Carrtar) did not attach much importance to the evidence of the girl Chaplin, as to the quarrels of Hubbard and the deceased. It was likely that such should happen, but it had been proved that they lived on good terms ; and the excitement which Hubbard was now suffering did not appear to be that of conscious guilt. After some other observations the Coroner left it to the Jury to say whether they could charge the atrocious murder that had un doubtedly been committed upon any individual. The Jury, after a long deliberation, came unanimously to the follow ing verdict :—" That having examined the evidence adduced before us in this case, we are satisfied that no charge has been established against any person or persons ; and under such circumstances we return a ver dict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." The CORONER thanked the jury for their patient and laborious atten tion to the inquiry ; and the jury in reply expressed in strong terms their thanks to the Coroner for the manner in which he had conducted the investigation. They also eulogised the conduct of the police, especially of the Superintendent Grinsell, Inspector Field, Sergeant Price, and the constable, Anderson, all whose conduct they wished t 3 be particularly noticed to the public.
